The tea service at Grand Hyatt Singapore's 10 SCOTTS offers more than just a lovely two-tier spread of finger sandwiches and sugary pastries
Is there anything lovelier than an afternoon tea in Singapore (or high tea, as some may call it)? It’s up there for us – the whole affair leaves us feeling utterly pampered. Maybe it’s the air of elegance it comes with, or the need to capture pretty pictures (although we’re still learning from our favourite Instagrammers). Perhaps we just love scoffing finger sandwiches, cakes and tarts… while pretending to be posh. Where do we go when we’re in the mood for a great cuppa and some awesome nosh? You’ll find us at 10 SCOTTS; the extensive spread leaves us feeling spoilt for choice (and completely stuffed).
Available daily from 12pm to 5pm (first seating 12pm to 2:30pm, second seating 3pm to 5pm), afternoon tea at 10 SCOTTS ($75 per pax on weekdays, $85 per pax on weekends – with free flowing Champagne) features a plethora of items spanning a number of cuisine types. Sure, you’ll find the delectable Western classics, like gourmet tartines to freshly baked scones and crab cakes, but leave plenty of room for other noteworthy choices. These include artisan cheeses, dim sum, sushi and curry puffs (because curry puffs and Champers are the ultimate dream). If that’s not enough, there’s also a selection of soups, sides, and a la minute dishes flambéed to order that changes on a weekly basis.
Of course, what’s afternoon tea without coffee and dessert? Get stuck into an array of sweets; there’s ice cream, sorbets, cakes, and heaps more to choose from. Dying for a glass of bubbly? There’s free-flowing Perrier Jouet Champagne to be had, alongside 23 choices of tea, coffee, and selected juices. What could be better than helping yourself to all this, while relaxing in the cosy, comfortable lounge (which, by the way, is set against a cascading two-storey waterfall)? Not a lot.
